Use OptionSet Wrapper component to show color-coded options on the form – Model-driven apps/ Dynamics 365

We can make use of the OptionSet Wrapper component to show color-coded options on the form for the choices or option set fields.

Below we have added the Option Set wrapper component to the Rating field of the lead in the Lead (Main) form.

We can see the field added but do not see any colors for it.

We then defined the colors as shown below for different choices / options.

After saving and publishing our changes, we were able to see the corresponding color for the choices.
